Carhartt WIP Lands in Johor Bahru with a Bold, Culture-Driven Space
Carhartt WIPhas officially opened the doors to its third Malaysian location, this time in the thriving southern city of Johor Bahru. Located on the ground floor of The Mall, Mid Valley Southkey, the 1,819-square-foot store quietly made its debut. The new space quickly became a magnet for design fans and streetwear loyalists alike, offering a seamless blend of rugged workwear heritage and contemporary industrial aesthetic. The store was designed by Milan-based Andrea Caputo Studio & Salomée Faeh. Their vision brought clean lines, concrete tones, and understated sophistication to the forefront—balancing functionality with visual depth. A branded carpet by AC Studio and a handmade Carhartt logo designed by German artist Pietro Sanguinetti added subtle layers of identity, elevating the store beyond retail and into a space that reflects the brand's global point of view. To mark the opening, Carhartt WIP launched an exclusive capsule that sold out fast. Featuring the iconic Detroit Jacket and two short-sleeved tees inspired by the traditional Wau Johor kite, the collection anchored the brand to its Malaysian setting in a thoughtful and localized way. Visitors were also treated to 'MERAK-07,' a site-specific lighting installation by local artist Jun Ong. His work reinterpreted the Wau through a futuristic lens—using light and material interplay to bridge tradition and innovation. This latest chapter in Carhartt WIP's expansion speaks to its long-standing ability to straddle local cultures and global subcultures. Since its founding in 1994, the brand has adapted the workwear DNA of its American predecessor into something altogether new—an aesthetic informed as much by hip-hop, skateboarding, and techno as it is by function-first design. As of June, the Johor Bahru store has already become more a creative hub—a space that connects community, craft, and culture in equal parts. It's clear that Carhartt WIP continues to build spaces that resonate far beyond the sales floor. Visit the officialCARHARTT WIP MALAYSIA SITEfor more info.

Middle East remains bright spot for high-end fashion industry
With Middle East airspace reopening and a U.S.-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Iran appearing to hold, the luxury sector continues relying on the region's wealthy shoppers to help offset weakness in its main U.S. and Chinese markets — for now. The Middle East, helped by strong tourist flows and local wealth, has bucked a recent global slowdown in luxury sales that is expected to deepen this year, with some brands growing sales there at double-digit rates. Luxury sales in Gulf countries were up 6% to $12.8 billion of the nearly $400 billion market last year, outpacing a global drop of 2%, with strong appetite for high-end fashion, jewelry and beauty products, retail consultant Chalhoub Group said. However, that trade is heavily dependent on the region's burgeoning tourist market, with consulting firm Bain estimating that some 50–60% of the Middle East's luxury sales come from tourists. This month's outbreak of an air war between Israel and Iran emphasized the ongoing risks in a region where unrest was already simmering, with airlines canceling flights and rerouting planes following Israel's strikes against Iran on June 13 — measures that are now being unwound. "At this point, we have not adjusted our long-term growth forecast, as we continue to see considerable potential in the region," said Federica Lovato, senior partner at Bain. "However, short-term volatility has increased in the last few weeks and may continue, depending on how the situation develops." The region is an important hub for travel spending, favored by Russian oligarchs and wealthy Asians alike, and has increased in importance since Russia's invasion of Ukraine triggered sanctions and the rerouting of flights between Europe and Asia from more northerly routes to the Middle East. It also serves as a gateway for high-end brands to reach wealthy shoppers from India, where high tariffs have kept companies like LVMH from expanding store networks. Max Heinemann, co-CEO of travel retail group Gebr. Heinemann, which recently expanded into Saudi Arabia and operates airport fashion retail stores carrying luxury brands in Jeddah, said the region's travel market has shown long-term resilience despite unrest. He remains optimistic. "Dips may occur, but long-term growth is expected," he said. At Prada, first-quarter sales in the region rose 26% year-on-year, while Hermès ' sales there were up 14%. High-end fashion and jewelry brands have been opening new stores and hosting splashy events. Milan-based menswear label Zegna this month took its spring collection to the opera house in Dubai, the region's leading luxury hub, for a catwalk show set in an elaborate space evoking an Italian villa. Elie Saab celebrated its 45th anniversary with a show in Riyadh last November, featuring a performance by Celine Dion. Dior, Saint Laurent and Valentino opened stores in Bahrain last year, while this year, Louis Vuitton brought guests to the Dubai desert for a dawn meal, and Chanel hosted a dinner in Abu Dhabi tied to a high jewelry launch. But maintaining visitor numbers to Middle Eastern destinations will be vital to bringing shoppers through the doors. Luxury travel agency Global Travel Moments said that for now, its long-term travel volumes to the Middle East have been unaffected by the latest unrest. However, given recent events, there is currently "certainly more caution" before finalizing trips to the broader Middle East, it said.

Luxury sector pins hopes on Middle East despite clouds from conflict
[PARIS] With Middle East airspace reopening and the US-brokered ceasefire between Israel and Iran appearing to hold, the luxury sector is still counting on the region's wealthy shoppers to help offset weakness in its main US and Chinese markets – for now. The Middle East, helped by strong tourist flows and local wealth, has bucked a recent global slowdown in luxury sales that is expected to deepen this year, with some brands growing sales there at double-digit rates. Luxury sales in Gulf countries were up 6 per cent to US$12.8 billion of the nearly US$400 billion market last year, outpacing a global drop of 2 per cent, with strong appetite for high-end fashion, jewellery and beauty products, retail consultant Chalhoub Group said.
